Coach Talk

B E A S T
Hey B E A S T, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than 16 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through seven weeks was 165.04. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
T.j JETZ
Unless T.j JETZ wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" cannot be a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 18 targets in Week 8. With just nine total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
